This is Svetlana & Cyril...from Dr Digi - aren't they fab. I love Cyril's face and how pleased he is with himself
for having such a blessed Nurse! And don't be fooled by him - he knows
exactly what he is doing hiring Svetlana to care for him in his old age!
The greeting is from Birthday Sentiments 1.

I've
left the image and greeting to take centre stage but I'll have to think
carefully about who I'd give this card too... wouldn't want to offend! The paper is from October Afternoon pack called Woodland Park. I used a little glaze on Cyril's glasses and also some silver pen on his wheelchair. I mounted the image onto blue Bazzill basics and attached with 3d foam. Finally I added a few homemade enamel dots.

I forgot to blog this card... been a hectic week at work and think I've just crashed out when I've got in so not really done much blogging recently but now I'm on catch up... And I've got a lovely new laptop to play with! (Although its taking some getting used too!)

The papers are from My Favourite things and they are currently ... my favourite! The pad is called Dots and stripes Sorbet. The greeting is from Pebbles and all the flowers are from Prima flowers and from my huge stash.
(Which reminds me I've just bought a trouser hanger to put my ribbon reels on... I'll post a picture if it works??!)
The gems are Jade from Papermania and I used a punch which rounds the corners and did this on the black mount card also.

I had these papers from My Minds Eye called Cut and Paste "Flair" and I thought they would go perfectly with the Glasses theme. I used a wooden embellishement for a pair for glasses that I stuck some goggly eyes into the lenses. The letters are from Hobbycraft and I just cut the coordinating paper into a banner shape and added a ribbon bow.

I used these promarkers & flexmarkers to colour the Professor -

Skin - Antique white, Blush, Soft Peach, Coral & Spice.

Shoes & Hair - Warm Greys

Trousers - Khaki & Soft Khaki.

Jumper - Crimson & Burgandy.

Clipboard - Sandstone, Cinamon & Cocoa. I also used some silver pen on the top clip.

Sorry I'm late with this post - Its been up on the Dr Digi page since Sunday but I had a crazy morning... This is what I wrote -

Morning All - Wow I would love to be relaxing somewhere with a cocktail
right now... Really rubbish morning so far! I've been working late so
was trying to get this post up for your this morning as soon as I woke
but my laptop has decided to die on me! Ever tried to do a blog post via
an ipad??

Anyway to cut a long story short.... I'm now rushing!! But hopefully you will be able to see the Fabulous Beach Bum Bob below.... I am so very ready for a holiday by the sea in some tropical paradise...

Our Bob still has his party shirt on despite the fact hes stranded... nothing will get him down!
Check him and his mates out over at the shop at Dr Digi

I used 3 different papers from Kaisercraft Say Aloha collection and cut around the flowers from one sheet to create the front, which I raised slightly with 3D foam. Even the greeting is from the paper pack. I love using packs which have everything all co-ordinating! The flamingo paper clip is from Tesco!

I love this stamp called Uptown Bentley gets blown away from Stamping Bella. I made this card for the Boyfs cousin Gemma. I went with all bright summery warm colours to celebrate her birthday.

I love these colours together. Yellow is def my favourite at the mo - Maybe its the summer vibe and the memory of sunshine (Haven't had much of the real thing!)
The ribbon is from The Ribbon Girl and I have this twill in every colour. I love it - I think the width if perfect to make it a feature on the card.
I cut circle from Echo park paper called Blue Sky using a Fiskars circle cutter. I covered the square card in two different patterned papers from My Favourite things Dots and stripes paper called Sherbet. The Greeting is from Pebbles and the letters spelling out Gemma are from Doodlebug. The gem swirls are from Hobbycraft. I added glaze to the middle balloon and then sprinkled some Cosmic Shimmer it before it set. I attached the image using 3D foam.

You could use this image for so many occassions - New Home, Passing exams, Valentines or any celebration.

I really wanted the colours to jump off the page so I used a matt black background. Its a great way to use up scraps of paper. And being a Digi image - you can print it to whatever size you need. The big bulb I printed onto Mirri card first and stuck with 3D foam to make it stand out a little more. The smaller bulbs I used silver pen rather than Mirri and glued them to the base. I used a white pen to add the edges, the light cords and also to give the bulb a shine.

I added some Doodlebug letters to say "U SHINE" and finished it off with some co-ordinating twine.

Make sure you take a look at the other images in the Dr Digi shop - All the Bits and bobs are great additions to your crafty collection.

Here is my latest DT Card for the I love Promarkers challenge #281 - The theme this week is "In the Garden" and it is sponsored by Letraset. You can win a pack of Promarkers - if your creations is chosen by the random number generator.
I bet loads of you out there are making lovely Summer garden based cards - Get them entered and resist the Christmas in July!!!

This image is from Tiddly Inks and is called Hello Pet.
I used a DL card as the image was just the right shape. I mounted it onto matt black card and drew around the edge using a Letraset 0.2 fine marker pen in black.
I used a little blue chalk to take the white from the sky and I also used Clear Wink of Stella on the Dragons wings and the lollipop flowers - but neither shows up here very well! I attached three homemade enamel dots made from Perle beads in shades of blue and green.

Morning All - It's Sunday Morning and time for me to post my latest card featuring Salon Deirdery from Dr Digi. I love her attitude!

I printed the digi image quite big and allowed Our Deirdery and her furry companion to take centre stage. Obviously she had gone to get her purple rinse so I stuck with the purple colour scheme!

I used a Spellbinders nestability to cut around the image and layered it onto Doodlebug Glitter card stock. I used some two tone ribbon glued to the top and used the reverse to make the bow. I added a couple of gems in coordinating colours and added the colour panel using 3d foam. I added a little glaze to the dryers to give a glass effect.

About Me

I have always been a bit of an addict to crafty things and colour.... I would walk around lovely shops thinking "Umm... wonder if I could make one like that?" So I started trying. I love colourful patterns and paper and putting them together on my Handmade cards. But the blog & facebook page started to give the Monkeys a home! I make Sock Monkeys under the name, "Lilibet made Monkeys". The Monkeys are available for sale and can be made to order as can any cards. Email me at lilibetsmonkeyhut@hotmail.co.uk
You can also see Monkeys looking for new homes and other items available to buy on my Pintrest, Instagram Flickr and facebook page.
Just search for Lilibets Monkey Hut (:(|)x
